Dick
The year is 1972 and like most high-school students, Betsy Jobs (Kirsten Dunst) and Arlene Lorenzo (Michelle Williams) just want to have a good time. But when, during a class field trip to the White House, they cluelessly wander into a behind-closed-doors, top-secret shredding session, it's time to both wag the dog, and walk it. Seeking to uncover just how much the witless duo discovered, the Commander-In-Chief, appoints them "Official White House Dog Walkers," and it isn't long before the girls go from taking out Checkers, to taking out Tricky Dick, in this fun-raising comedy of historic distortions.
Dick
Two teenage airheads accidentally end up appointed official dog walkers to Checkers, President Richard Nixon's pooch. Even they soon work out the President is up to no good, and their intervention reveals the reason behind the still unexplained 18 minute gap in Nixon's White House tapes that were crucial evidence in the infamous Watergate affair.
Stealing Harvard

Nå har Noreen kommet inn på selveste Harvard, og hun trenger 29 879 dollar i skolepenger. Siden han ikke greier å fortelle nyheten til Elaine, spør han vennen Duff om råd, og snart er John virkelig i trøbbel.
Superstar

Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy
The Canadian sketch-comedy masters hit the big screen with Kids In the Hall: Brain Candy, their send-up of psychopharmacology and its social ramifications. Each "kid" plays a plethora of roles; in fact, nearly every character in the film is played by one of the five "kids". When Roritor Pharmaceuticals finds itself on the verge of bankruptcy, research chemist Chris Cooper (Kevin McDonald) finds himself pressured to push his latest development to market without adequate testing at the risk of losing his job. The product Gleemonex, an anti-depressant bearing more than a slight resemblance to Prozac seems at first to be a wonder drug; users find themselves in a perpetual state of bliss as they relive their fondest memories time and again. Success goes awry, however, when a fatal side-effect surfaces users become catatonics. The craze has caught on, however, and the entire world seems to be taking Gleemonex, forcing Dr. Cooper to fight his employers and warn the masses before disaster strikes. The plot is really just an excuse for a series of funny, hallucinogenic sketches involving the memories and fantasies of its users; the funniest include a grandmother's all-too brief holiday visit with her family, and a married man's homoerotic experiences in the military. Another winning scene: a brooding grunge-rock idol (Bruce McCulloch) who's taken the drug unexpectedly changes his tune at a concert to the bewilderment of his angst-hungry fans. Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy is hit-or-miss satire, but much of the humor finds its mark in this humble, surprisingly intelligent film.
